I will always have love for the Big Apple, that is why when I saw the New York City pop-up book my little heart gave a small jump. Created by Daisy Lew, this book can pop up two different ways.

The profile view is simply a boring old box shape. However, the top view of the New York City pop-up book features some of the city's icons such as the apple, the Chrysler Building and even a [yellow taxi cab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pax-new-yorkea).
